What Will Happen to Our Kids?
What will happen to Weston and Emily when we are no longer here? It is a tough situation to face at the end of a long journey. Weston is now soon to be 24 and functions at the level of a three to four year old. Emily is 22 and functions at the level of a 7 to 8 year old. We have dedicated our lives 100% to make them all they can be and give them the best services and supports. Unfortunately in 10 years Joyce and I will be in our mid-70s. And they will still have a majority of their life to live. It is horrendous to even contemplate their future without us. There are millions of parents with autistic kids facing the same sad and unavoidable fate. May God help us all!
